Diesel Success

KABC the ABC affiliate in Los Angeles has posted an article detailing the success of Jeep sales with diesel engines in Europe.

In Europe, diesels make up about half of new passenger car sales, since fuel costs about twice what ours does. Technology has made diesels more powerful and far cleaner than the ones American drivers may have remembered from years ago. And they keep getting better.

Chrysler has had great success selling Jeep SUVs in Europe with diesel engines. The Grand Cherokee has plenty of power, but can get very good fuel economy at the same time. Best of all, a driver can hardly tell the difference.

Hopefully with their strong sales in Europe, Daimler will see that bringing a diesel wrangler to the States would be a boon for them. I think that the market is wide open, especially for future Jeep owners. We all love Jeep, and would probably drive Jeeps no matter what, but to be able to save a little gas with a diesel engine would be a dream for all of us.

Jeep has a YouTube channel. You can currently watch a couple movies of people riding around during the auto shows. Maybe they’ll add some more interesting videos. Maybe I can create some videos for them and they’ll just give me a 2007 Wrangler.

Orange Jeep Wranglers

As I have said before, Orange Jeeps are my favorite. I think it has some sort of connection to the General Lee.

Megan and myself were driving down to get on the Mass Pike today, when we were passed by the most beautiful Jeep Wrangler that I had ever seen. As soon as we got home, I had to do some research to find out the name of the color. I did know that Jeep was producing the Wranglers in an orange variant (Impact Orange), but I had not seen one in person. I almost wish that I had a cell phone with a camera so that I could take a picture of it.

Hopefully the 2007 Wrangler will come in a similar color, so that when I raise enough money, my new Jeep can be an orange Jeep.
